Guest Submission Guidelines
Blocks of Life is a space dedicated to living thoughtfully, creatively, and intentionally. Through essays, music, poetry, and books, the goal is to explore how we build meaningful lives—one decision, one habit, one relationship at a time.
Occasionally, I invite guest contributors to share perspectives that align with this mission.
If you believe your voice can add depth to these conversations, I’d love to hear from you.
What We’re Looking For
We accept original essays that explore themes such as:
- Mindfulness and self-knowledge
- Civility and meaningful dialogue
- Friendship and relationships
- Creative living
- Personal growth
- Integrity and character
- Purpose, goals, and intentional living
Essays should be reflective, thoughtful, and accessible—not preachy or promotional.
Submission Guidelines
- Word Count: 800–1,500 words
- Original Content Only: Must not be previously published
- Tone: Reflective, balanced, grounded
- Links: Maximum of 2 relevant links (no affiliate links)
- Author Bio: 75–100 words + one headshot
- AI Content: We only accept submissions written by humans. AI tools may be used for copyediting, but the final work must be the author’s words.
Please include:
- A short pitch (2–3 paragraphs describing your idea)
- Why your piece aligns with Blocks of Life
- A writing sample (if not included in pitch)
- A signed Guest Contributor Agreement (link)

Editorial Process
- Submissions are reviewed within 2–3 weeks.
- I reserve the right to edit for grammar, formatting, and SEO.
- Not all submissions will be accepted.
- Accepted pieces will be scheduled for publication at a future date.
A Final Note
Blocks of Life is not a content marketplace. It is a curated space centered around meaningful ideas and intentional growth. Guest contributors are collaborators in that vision.
If that resonates with you, I look forward to reading your work.
